2. Marinate the Pork Loin:
   Place the boneless pork loin roast into a large shallow dish. Pour the honey-garlic marinade over the pork, ensuring that the meat is thoroughly coated. Cover the dish with plastic wrap or a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate for at least 8 hours. During this marinating period, turn the roast occasionally to ensure even flavor distribution. The longer the pork marinates, the more flavorful it will become.

3. Preheat the Oven:
   When you’re ready to cook, preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). This moderate temperature will allow the pork loin to cook evenly and remain juicy.

4. Bake the Pork Loin:
   Remove the marinated pork loin from the refrigerator and discard any excess marinade. Transfer the pork loin to a roasting pan or baking dish. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes. This cooking time ensures that the pork is fully cooked through, tender, and flavorful.

5. Check for Doneness:
   To ensure that the pork loin is properly cooked, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The thermometer should read 160°F (71°C) in the thickest part of the meat. This indicates that the pork is safe to eat and has reached the perfect level of doneness.

6. Rest and Serve:
   Once the pork loin is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. Resting allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast. After resting, slice the pork loin into medallions and serve with your favorite side dishes.

Notes:

• For best results, make sure to turn the pork loin occasionally during the marinating process. This will help the marinade to penetrate the meat more evenly.
• You can also add vegetables like carrots, potatoes, or onions to the roasting pan for a complete meal.
